The fellow will have the opportunity to develop their own related side project if desired.

Learning Objectives: As a result of this training, the participant will improve their skills in laboratory techniques such as nucleic acids extraction and purification, regular and real-time PCR, and next- generation sequencing using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore platforms. Also, the participant will improve their skills in study design, troubleshooting unexpected results, project coordination, data analysis pipeline development, sharing of results through internal meeting presentations, peer- reviewed publications, and professional conferences, and if desired, manuscript preparation and publishing.

Mentor(s): The mentor for this opportunity is Michael Huston (yfk0@cdc.gov). If you have questions about the nature of the research please contact the mentor(s).

Anticipated Appointment Start Date: September 16, 2024. Start date is flexible and will depend on a variety of factors.
